24 February 2010, all of us were waiting nervously for the race to start . "3,2,1" and all the secondary ones were running with all their might. Jack , Yuxiang and me were quite confident that we would win the race as we have always been the top few passing the finishing line in previous runs.
We had been running steadily at first and then we came to this loop where we were suppose to run towards the gate when the teacher REDIRECTED us to the other way and cause us to run an extra 700 meter that others did not. When we started running back to the original route, we discovered that half of the secondary one cohort were ahead of us. Yuxiang , being the best cross country runner in the secondary one cohort immediately speed up to catch up. Jack and I were left behind.
When I almost use up all my strength ,about to stop. I saw this girl running ahead of me.I thought to myself,"I cannot lose to a girl!" and sped up . However, as I go nearer to the finishing line , more and more girls began to appear ahead of me. Although, I would really like to stay behind them to peep at them but I was representing the class but not an individual. So I just close my eyes and dashed all the way.
When I finally reached the finishing line,I have no more strength to even stand up. I was extremely upset when I know that I did not even get into the top hundred!
This is a lesson for me and 1o3,DO NOT TRUST ANYONE IN A RACE!!!!!! EVERYONE IS YOUR ENEMY! (just joking)
This is quite humorous, speaking from a runner't point of view. But from the REDIRECTED RUNNER, this may be quite despairing and sad to think about.(I AM JACK) We have put in our best to run, knowing that if we do that, we can get into the top 10 finalist but in the end, there were no results. By the way, you almost lost to a girl Zihan, or you purposely stay behind the girl to wait for her? Just joking, everyone knows that you tried your best!

There is a weid twist in your story, just as it seems we were all solemn and sad, you talked about rubbish at the end with makes the readers read the post with laughter
ReplyDeleteNo one is your enemy....but we have to remember that life is not always fair!!!! Life will throw lemons at you so what do you do......learn to make lemonade. All these things teach us a lot Zihan and teach us to rise everytime you fall. It teaches use failures as stepping stones.....I am really proud of you guys and that should count for something( I hope).
